traffic. some people are dreaming of a life with less traffic we want to have a city where we don't just see parking lots everywhere. so what like the city traffic of the future looks like. just imagine the drive the ability to actually clean and for free i but where should we go if we still think driving cars is a lot of fun i. customized cover all different vehicle groups. and could you master the safety systems on volvo's award winning hybrid x e 40. or the activated systems. we will all men be on the safe side of cars and mobility right now on rec.

climate change and emissions limits have left their mark on driving for fun. sports cars may pump up the adrenaline but they also pump out pollutants like there's no tomorrow in germany sales are down to around $50000.00 a year. yet s.u.v.s have topped the 1000000 mark in germany even though they're also seen as gas guzzlers and climate killers they are the fastest growing segment for the global card history. sports cars are all about pace passion and the sheer uncompromising thrill of driving naughty. was the ford mustang is the world's best selling sports who paid the quintessential pony car since its launch 1964. the porsche 911 is another icon of modern motoring and has sold over

a 1000000 units since it 1st hit the roads half a century ago. the 1st porsche was built in 1970 it had just 35 horsepower but thanks to weighing only 585 kilos it could reach 135 kilometers an hour. company. said that the last car ever to be built would be a sports car. the sports car was not merely a mode of transportation it's the imagination. engine company of. this ultimate marriage of design and engineering promised a way of life freedom exclusivity independence the ideal get away from the daily grind. soon enough sports cars went from being. to stars of both the big and small screen.

and on game consuls too. in the virtual world these cars deliver plenty of action. so new models now even get launched in video games. and if that what's your appetite how about one of the it's actually a stinger. the b.m.w. 440 i grant to pay my for the lexus l c 500. of course to really put cars like these through their paces you need a race track. or at least a test track like the one in lead to. our clients who attend our training courses cover all different vehicle groups motorbikes passenger cars i pads and trucks we cater to both private individuals and commercial clients with. a quick look under the hood before we get going

the stinger has a twin turbo v. 6 engine that cranks out 269 kilowatts. is a subsidiary of south korean car giant hyundai. and the stinger is out to muscle in on the european sports car market. is german designed. make sure it had what it takes. out on the test track the key is shows the benefits of us all wheel drive. it tops out at 270 kilometers per hour just fine when you need it almost to touch. in germany the stinger sells for a base price of around $56000.00 euros it's a mix of price and performance as the nickname but.

there's nothing poor about the l. c. $500.00 which uses lex's styling in class inside and. lexus is the luxury brand of japanese carmaker toilet were eager to show that they were among the front runners not only among hybrid cars. are matched by the way it hugs the road. it's developers who are granted triple the usual time to toil and tinker away at the new model last. the results is life in the fast lane a trip that will have your heart pounding and your pulse racing. $351.00 kilowatts catapult this mean machine to a top speed of 280 kilometers an hour. and awesome feel of the wheel but a price tag of $100000.00 euros and this baby burns a whopping 12 leaders

a gas for 100 kilometers. b.m.w. meanwhile harking back to the seventy's when the 3.0 c.s.l. dominated the european touring car circuit. and now the 440 i grant who pays channeling that history. unlike its predecessors on the race track it's not meant to tear up the record books but it comes with its fair share of luxury extras. and at $62000.00 euros it's far cheaper than its lexus rival. its output is a relatively unimpressive 240 kilowatts but you hardly notice that when you take to the curbs here it roar. the perfectly configured suspension is coupled with b.m.w.'s legendary straight 6 inch. and as you're thrust back into your

seat after shifting down a gear you get their real sports car feeling. these are cars that unleashed powerful emotions for some they're objects of desire embodying that ultimate freedom of movement. for others they're unwelcome relics of an environmentally unfriendly past. but environmental responsibility and sports cars can also go hand in hand the new porsche tiger on is powered by 560 kilowatts and its all electric sports car you can drive with a clean conscience. today

we're going to have a look at this. isn't exactly a new car as compact as c.v. claimed the european car of the year trophy in 2018 and its fresh looks made the swedish best seller a real crowd pleaser. you can also choose a contrast in roof color to make your car really stand out. or to be precise because of the. 5000 and is the 1st poet trained for this car according to the pew. around $2.00 per $100.00.

you know me. almost sounds too good to be true. the plug in hybrid combines a $180.00 horsepower 3 cylinder gasoline engine with a 60 challenge want electric motor and front wheel drive hybrid drive trains always add weight to a car thanks to the 2 engines and the battery and at 1900 kilos the x e 40 is no exception. but you can feel the weight of the extra 40 has never been a review of speeding all this stuff you definitely can feel the polish will stop exhilarating but with around 7.3 seconds from 0 to 100. with the combination with you when you races. that speed was never the point of this

fall though what it's aiming for is fuel economy. the hybrid system makes me different driving modes name to pure hybrids and power in pure you'll get all electric driving meaning the car is on the he was in the electric and it's good to post proof after one $125.00 came of age and the range of 50. which is quite nice when you'll both be driving in the city. when the battery is everything you can plug it in then charge it up or use the internal combustion engine to get the batteries some additional juice in the system tries to combine both engines in the most effective way it's probably the mold you would drive the most in when you're outside the city you. are going to use most of the time and then there's the performance malts where both engines are running in parallel all the time to give you the maximum performance for one. never you feel the need for speed.

besides the 3 driving modes the x e 40 offers a whole range of safety systems. little has always been at the forefront of driver safety. engineer neil's eve our bulletin invented the 3 point seat belts for the car maker back in 1959 the german patent office named the belt one of the 8 inventions that most benefited humankind during 100 years and in 1985 with head side in neat air bags the volatile x e 40 scored top marks in the euro n.c.a.a. p. crash test. emergency brake assist and active link keeping assist come standard. class cross traffic a loop warns you of vehicles approaching from the side and braking support automatically applies the brakes in order to avoid a collision. but there's one problem with all the safety systems and that's not the systems themselves as they work pretty much flawlessly

it's the way you control them because to activate or the activate the systems we have to do for through the and for payment stream there are menus on top of menus that open up even more menus and i don't know or maybe it's just personal preference and after a week or so of driving the car you will eventually master the system but personally i don't really like. ok so the user interface of the infotainment system might need an overhaul but what about fuel consumption. sleeping in the countryside probably isn't the best territory to achieve consumptions that are close to me $2.00 new cars per 100 kilometers. i'm not saying that it's impossible to achieve those numbers but driving here through. they most of the time in the hybrid vault we ended up with

something close to the 7 or 8 meters per 100 feet of meters i so what's the verdict at a hefty starting price of 49000 euros the x e 40 with its new plug in hybrid engine has found the advantages and disadvantages he might expect on longer trips this heavy s.u.v. tends to guzzle the gas but for running errands around town or commuting to work the sleek looking falvo will get you there economically and safely. to our cities are failing us. affects us all is this all future generations can look forward to i like to have a city where they don't need to worry about the machines and but what do we do to improve the way we move in our cities or more but it's very smart to join us on

a journey what architects engineers and activists face up to the challenges of our future urban mobility. traffic chaos that's on the tough stuff. worldwide every day. there are some 47000000 cars on germany's roads enough for 2 of the 3 adults to be driving at the same time. that's the highest level ever in berlin alone 87000 new cars were registered in 2019 despite growing traffic problems. like lots of public transport ok bicycle. and we see all the cars next to the universe the boating people like the students basically have free public transport and they still come by car and i think that's not good. all over the world. traffic

pollution is choking use of the air we need to brief. people around the world are demanding change. after more than 100 years is the cars dominance of our ever more crowded cities finally coming to an end. brian environment is occupied with cards and nobody has the freedom to live in the city in a more maître way and the future of the city is the future of morbidity in a new way. the global design studio graphed is developing visions of our future urban will belittle. its founders last cook a bag and thomas villa mine are specialists in urban planning and sustainable architecture they expect future generations to have far more choice in how they move around their cities. will be the child of of us. will probably walk quite some. some distance because the neighborhoods will be

without too much traffic jump on their car maybe that leads then to a connection that probably will take their child into the air and landed right on the walk in place. flying taxis could be a spectacular urban upgrade but probably not for the masses the biggest changes will affect cars especially our own private ones of which there are more than $1000000000.00 worldwide. there will be no baldry anymore between public transportation and individual traffic the separation of both has a lot of birth cities that we see trigger. but what could take the place of private cars in emissions free highly flexible public transport system. our earth. even mobility could depend on vehicles like the move or the tech

underpinning the mover comes from a german company. it's meant to demonstrate how one platform can fulfill many needs . for us to move or could be used for the transport of people. for the transport of goods during daylight traffic transport of people and during the drug courts. in germany carsick unused for 23 hours a day on average each wasting about 12 square meters in parking space. that's as big as the typical german child's bedroom. in the u.s. cities like houston are struggling to overcome decades of urban planning that is given more space to cars than anything else. the more you have reduced the dimensions of the vehicle of course we achieve that i don't live in the drive units into the wheels themselves basic technical components as far into the corners as

possible to make more interior space years ago. and that frees up space on the road so. shrinking vehicle footprints are just one part of shufflers mobility vision with this award winning prototype can carry 4 people to their destination cleanly autonomous li and flexibly in. the city will drastically change as we share mobility if it is public or private leaving the possibility for the city to come back to the people meaning we need less parking spots. we basically need the cars or the planes or the drones whatever it is too long so we need new spaces. constitution. in the near future digital. networking will drive our mobility.

shufflers idea foresees people using autonomous vehicles from the fleet working 247 . these multi-functional emissions free vehicles to transport people and goods or provide services by sharing vehicles people could free up huge areas of space previously dedicated to parking but all we really ready to have robots driving everywhere. i need guns cause the hood is the one major hurdle is legal vehicles like that are not really covered by the current legislation we'll have to make many adjustments to legal frameworks and the lack of legal security surrounding autonomous vehicles is putting the brakes on development. is done to you because you can we really afford to lose any more time. the generations of young people who will inherit our cities are already looking for quick and direct ways of improving our urban lives now and then we can do 2 things

firstly politically. challenge all politicians like we want to have a city where we want to live in where we don't just see cars and parking lots everywhere but where we can go everywhere and i'm not afraid but a collar hit us secondly we can do it ourself we can take the bicycle to you know boston to school by. the metro for the underground and we can take. the german city of outspokenness trying to get cars out of the city by offering free public transport in the central zone. since january 2020 people can also take out a mobility subscription that gives them unlimited access to the city's fleet of bikes and cars the package costs around 3 years 50 per day. it's one change among many that are needed. we need an overall traffic management as well as the infrastructure as. well as a payment system

a ticket system and things like this of course future mobility has to be affordable it might pay for itself with ads like the internet does these days. just imagine that's driving the mobility is actually clean and for free why because it's the search place where you can work at driving those you know it's automatic you don't have to take care of that it's shared with other people it's connected so basically the people that run at the tysons in these to places while you're working they pay for the right so i think a city where we don't have costs. has much more space for trips. from space for the people and i think city with all costs can have a lot more opportunities than a city with calls. a city without cars for many people that's hard to imagine. but things are beginning to move in that direction the question is what do we want to do with the space when the cars have gone.

we've just got some traffic. and then you see these could be i'm a texan. for the last 27 years. i have not been easy i've been driving. i have 4 children 3 boys and one girl asked my wife and it went better. tell me about this are suffering right now about it want to. run. them down you've got to move me from trying to go to our blog goodbye rough. rough one.
